Came home at 7pm tonight and as I came through the front door it sounded like someone ran up the attic stairs. Had the kids with me and OH is in work. Told the younger kids to go in the lounge and took my eldest with me upstairs to check. The attic is a converted attic bedroom with stairs off the landing. As we got upstairs and turned the landing light on heard a shuffling noise (like someone moving about)and was absolutely petrified if I'm honest.
Went upstairs and found nothing in the attic bedroom. Checked every cupboard and wardrobe upstairs, all doors and windows were locked, no sign of anyone being in the house or anything moved/missing. The attic stairs are a half flight with landing then another half flight up again. On the half landing is an entrance to a storage attic above our double extension. This was unlocked but there is only half a dozen boxes in there so got a torch and couldn't see anything so locked it up and came downstairs. Did bedtime got the younger kids to bed and came downstairs. My eldest has the attic bedroom and he's just screamed out saying he thought he saw someone in his room. (Was asleep he said) There is no one there and the half attic door is still locked. I have searched the whole house and can't find anything. WIBU to ring the police to come check?
